{Batter Up!}


  • Rhett had a big fan club cheering for him at his last t-ball game! Grandma and Grandpa Flake and Ally were able to come and Rhett was so excited to see them cheering him on. I just love seeing all the little boys in their cute uniforms as they take the game so seriously! They have really improved, actually getting several kids out by throwing the ball to the basemen in time. That is impressive if you saw where they started at!
  • Highlights include: *snowcones bought by Grandpa *Rhett making some great catches and running fast enough to not get tagged out *Ethan sharing his snowcone with Kade for a few bites then saying "This is the last bite. If Kade eats more his tummy will feel sick". I believe he was thinking of his own needs rather than Kades!!
  • Later that day we went to a fabulous birthday party for cute Hannah where the kids just had a ball!! Pizza, cake, bubbles, chalk, and a big playground - what more could little kids want? In their goody box there was a CD of children's songs that Shannon burned. We've never bought a kids CD before other than Primary Songs. So when the first song came on with a high pitched cartoony voice singing the boys were laughing so hard they almost couldn't breathe!! (That's the first picture on the top). Now it's all they want to listen to in the van!
  • On Sunday Ethan's primary teacher told us that Ethan had gotten all upset and teary eyed when he wasn't chosen in Primary. I guess the kids got to get a new CTR ring or something out of a treasure box. The primary presidency took pity on his teary eyes and plea "I've never had a CTR ring in my whole life!" and let him come up and pick a treasure. Problem is, he's had several CTR rings, the last one was given to him at Christmas! What a stinker! Well I have gone on and on, and did lots of posting to catch up! I hope you all are doing well and having a great week!

I love how you did your pictures at the top. That is so cute. I love the one with the boys laughing. And hey you have to give credit where credit is due Ethan knows how to think on his toes on just what to say to get a new CTR ring. That made me laugh.

I love the boys in their baseball uniforms, I bet it's so fun for Cody to watch Rhett play ball! That is hilarious what Ethan did to get a CTR ring! What will you do with two boys in school? Have another one? Just kidding ya!!

Brooke said...

Well Ethan stil has another year till he goes but I am just thinking ahead! It will be crazy to just have one boy at home, that's for sure!

Brooke what a great bunch of cutie boys you have! I love that Ethan was working the Primary leaders over. You go Ethan. They are such cute little stinkers when they do stuff like that.

That's so great that Rhett loved T-ball so much. And Cyrena loves the 'Hannah Movie' (that's what she calls the c.d. from Hannah's birthday. Little did Shannon know we'd all be rocking out to it in our cars. :)

You have had a lot going on! I really liked your posts about the Nephi shoes....hilarious! I totally agree about the skinny jeans as well. I was thinking about how you don't want your kids to have "character" themed stuff, nor do I. But, if we break down with small things like PJ's, watches or underwear...things that people don't see...they can be happy and so can we:)

Congrats on passing the series 7 test...what is next now?
